Whiteline Rear Sway bar: SP20

FOX33N · 07-12-2007, 12:03 PM

G'Day Everyone,

Im Looking at getting a Rear HD Sway Bar.. Has anyone got one installed?

Do you notice much difference, Is it worth it?

Cheers Cassie

they are worth it...theres been plenty of threads about suspension stuff...rear sway bar and front strut brace at the same time is reccomended...

The SP20 allready has a reasonable enough front strut brace, don't confuse the girl!

As for the rear swaybar, it's a waste of time if you are never going to exploit the advantages it gives you. But they are one of the best mods you can ever do if you intend on throwing the car aroud a bit.

ahh ok...didnt realise they came with one standard

sorry...

nearly all independent rear suspension cars come standard with a rear swaybar.

although, some of todays newer fwd cars are coming without front swaybars

but yeah, a HD rear swaybar on a fwd is the way to go

Yea i knew it came out with a front one.. But Im Now thinking about getting the whiteline rear & front sway bars.. but i just wanted to see if it did make any more differnce with handling, Cause it is quite a cheap mod!!

The front swaybar is a waste of time on the SP20, it will just reintroduce the understeer ironed out by a rear swaybar (you will start chasing your tail)... And the labour to install a front swaybar on the SP20 is quite expensive too.

There are lots of mods out there you can do for the sake of having them. You need to establish IF you will make use of them, or appreciate the benefit in any way after having done it.

Yea speaking to a few people @ work & they said if you do both front & back.. so are better to do the Whole suspension setup, & im happy with the springs at the moment, So i might just get the rear bar & see how i go!
